RussianQuestion
I've been having some problems with mercurial and kiln, maybe you can point me in the right direction. Sometimes when I commit the files they get renamed as Upper Case 'Assembly.NameSpace' will be changed to 'ASSEMBLY.NAMESPACE' and if I try to commit after making changes to them they appear as not being tracked (Side note I found out about the renamed files after I committed).
No matter what I do they just wont be tracked. I tried add using the console, using hg workbench and nothing seems to work. For it to work I need to forget the files, then commit, then add them again and then commit, which it really sucks for me.
Solution 2
Upgrading to latest version will fix the problem.
OTHER TIPS
Is it possible the files already exist in the repository with different case? "Case Folding" is a problem for any system that needs to work on both systems that are truly case sensitive and those that are only case retentive. Mercurial has done a lot of work to degrade as well as possible when a case folding problem arises and there's a lot of detail about it in the Mercurial wiki.
On what OS are you working?
When you do that initial add of the files are you using a wildcard or specifying them by name?
Do the files on disk actually change case when you add them? Mercurial only alters files in the working director (the stuff outside of .hg) on update, so it seem pretty much impossible that just doing hg add; hg commit would change the case of a file in the working directory.
